*** DUB *** After 4 mini-albums of electronic dub extravaganzas, Llarks now collects the best in Lamour Dub Selections for streaming platforms. The album also contains Slim Vic’s deep dub marathon remix.
Rhythm as texture, texture as rhythm… the foggy and lo-fi dub created by Llarks is messy and unruly, languorous and loping. The deliberate repetition reveals subtle changes as the song-form disintegrates and reassembles itself.

Oskar Mobergs alias Pink River Dolphins takes Sven Fredrik´s song Sooner State Prince into a psychedelic dream world with his downtempo remixes. With a touch of dub and clever handling of Elin Skeppstedts hypnotic voice, the remixes are ready to be set on repeat.

Released today! Mikael Strömberg / Igor - My Life as Erik Satie (Gnossienne No. 8-15)
Erik Satie lived as an eccentric in Paris 1866-1925. His music can be achingly beautiful, nostalgic, mysterious, searching, elegant, stripped down, mockingly poetic, gravely humorous, disturbing, and hypnotic. In a way, as illogical as a three-year-old’s games. Like the Cubist painters in Paris around the turn of the last century, he wanted to capture everyday fragments in new patterns. But it is only now that he has been accepted by a large audience.
Nowadays, the musician and artist Mikael Strömberg thinks he knows him well enough that he thinks he knows how Satie would continue to write his piano music, especially the quiet Gnossians, if he had lived another hundred years.

1 week since we released the first single from the upcoming album Hind by Sebastian Mullaert & Henrik Frendin. Many thanks to everyone who listens and pays attention to the release! 😍
OUT NOW! Ljudvägg & Hall - Ändlöshet
The original version of the song Ändlöshet has been heard several times in the SVT’s series Bror. Now with newly recorded vocals by Linnea Hall, we can once again enjoy smooth piano and a strong voice. The song is also featured in episode 7 of this year’s season of the series.
In the borderland between pop and modern classical, we are enchanted by Linnea Hall’s emotional voice and Ljudvägg’s wayward piano playing with a desire to experiment.

We are very proud to present today the first single from the upcoming album Hind by Sebastian Mullaert & Henrik Frendin.
”HIND is a one take improvisation. A musical vision of an animal on the run. A reflection on the experience of an actual meeting with a lost baby deer seeking her mother in a dark, deep forest.
The impressions being transformed into a delicate piece of music, showing the art of sequence repeating, gradually changing the context or meaning of a phrase. The essence of looping.”

*** January 24th - Martin Zeidner feat. Anna Linander – A Winter Lullaby ***
More known for his trance, club, and synthwave bangers, Swedish Martin Zeidner delivers a warm and atmospheric little downtempo winter saga this time. Starting in a reverberated triphop drum suit, it slowly turns the heat up with a suggestive sixties-style string section, neoclassical piano melodies, and some sparkling glockenspiel. The track reaches its crescendo when Swedish vocalist Anna Linander performs a final voice layering of the main melody.

*** January 21 - louie.lou – Porten i Torsåker ***
Porten i Torsåker is a thematic composition that started with field recordings and a repeated knocking on the door of the church of Torsåker in Ångermanland.
The recordings and following composition come from a wish to physically, temporally and sonically approach the location where the most extensive witch trials took place in 17th-century Sweden.
At the church of Torsåker, a penal sermon and last communion would be held for the condemned before exiting the door and ascending the adjacent mountain for the last time before ex*****on.
The accusations of witchcraft and pacts with the devil were enforced by law on the penalty of death.
A fan-driven organ, along with field recordings often makes out the foundation of louie.lou’s compositions capture the place’s history in this piece.
louie.lou (Louise Ölund) born in 1981 in Ångermanland, is a sound artist and musician based in Umeå. With organ, field recordings, loop-pedal, synthesizer, voice, and more, Louise Ölund creates diverse soundscapes where darkness and light, order and chaos coexist.

*** January 17th - Oort Cloud Services – Lufthavet *** Oort Cloud Services is jumping restlessly between melodic ambient, upbeat synthpop and… whatever you call a messy mishmash of busy dnb, glitch, chip and whatever else unlucky enough to be within reach. This track however, stays firmly in the first category. “Some years ago I was on an aeroplane before departure. I was listening to the engine sounds in the cabin and had this whole noise ambient experience. As you do when you listen to noise ambient, I started hearing distinct tones in that drone. A chord emerged that was a perfect starting point for an ambient track, I thought. The phone recording of this makes up the intro and outro of this track. This was one of several ideas that evolved separately and then eventually merged into one. All these ideas circled around the concept of air and sea – the majestic oceans and the vast expanse of the atmosphere. It was when I put my phone camera against the plane window during another flight last spring, and caught our ascending through the clouds, and then also an amazing view of the open sea, that everything fell into place in my mind. It recently solidified even more as I heard the use of the word “lufthavet” in a Swedish weather forecast, which would translate into “the sea of air”. Not only is it a poetic word for the atmosphere, it’s also a very descriptive term. Just like the actual oceans of water, this global ocean of air is in constant motion with currents, vortexes, waves and ripples. Every title I had come up with before that went straight out the window! An aeroplane window, if you will.” (Jetplanes recorded in august of 2019 by Patrick Bohman during a flight show in Austria) Bandcamp: https://lamourrecords.bandcamp.com/album/because-we-love-music-2024 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6voIbnanOtlpTOtrpTxaeB?si=10b336ad2e2f4cc5 Tidal: https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/93f05d0a-f43f-4517-b6ea-ba1c50765c4e?fbclid=IwAR1-E0Ty0in

Pure Dub Love from Llarks! Rhythm as texture, texture as rhythm… the foggy and lo-fi dub created by Llarks is messy and unruly, languorous and loping. The deliberate repetition reveals subtle changes as the song-form disintegrates and reassembles itself. Uprise Flowers and its several permutations on the ep “Dub I” were created in the spirit of, and using many of the techniques first used by the pioneers of the dub genre. The rhythms were recorded in mono on analog tape. The material was then “dubbed” into the digital/stereo realm where more recording took place. The final mix of the song was performed live using the mixing board and effects. Out now! Spotify: http://tiny.cc/zrk5vz Bandcamp: http://tiny.cc/yrk5vz
Get ready! Because We Love Music starts December 1st! 💚
Out now! Sven Fredrik - Sooner State Prince / Varial Sven Fredrik is back with a first single from the upcoming album 'Through The Rosen Bridge'. On the song 'Sooner State Prince' we hear a downtempo collaboration with Elin Skeppstedt. Elin has toured around the world with The Deer Tracks and Twiggy Frostbite and her magical voice fits perfectly with her unique instrument saw. Varial is a full-blooded kraut journey where the secrets of space are given a soundtrack that is both timeless and forward-looking. Spotify: http://tiny.cc/szt0vz Bandcamp: http://tiny.cc/uzt0vz
